thread: MT4 - FXDD datafeed questionable?

    nvwine....thank you for the guide, which clearly describes the issue. I would rather find a (-) at which there was no price change indiing a bar, but that is a personal preference. This also avoids any delay in candle creation, because how it is right now, when you're trading a 1 minute chart, the latest candle you're looking at could be 3-5 mins old, giving the scary impression that your screen gets frozen and price feed dropped.

    Now that I'm conscious of the way the charting is put up, I will probably live with it, supplying the price displayed, albeit might be 2-3 mins old is in reality the newest, unchanged price.

    nvine's post is correct- it's not a bug it's a feature....
    That stated, I demoed all the MT4 brokers I could detect, and IBFX and FXDD had awful data feeds. Perhaps their live statistics was better, but that's why we demo.
    I'd noticed the exact same problem once I looked at the 1 minute charts, found a post similar to the one nvine posted, however when I assessed against other brokers' data ( MT4 and non-MT4) there were really a lot of holes never explained by the way MT4 handles tick data. I'm currently with MIGFX, who, all other things being equal, I found had the best mt4 feed.
    Taters....thanks to your data and I will bear MIGFX in mind if I encounter some serious problems withh FXDD.

    I'm not recommending or not-recommending, however OANDA has 1 minute, 30 minute, 10 minute, and 5 minute time frames offered and in my experience, a brand new feed with horizontal spacer bars, in case you don't need fancy indiors to your technique...

    Thanks for the info Taters!
